Complaint Review: Ultimate Medical Academy

I have been going to Ultimate Medical Academy for over a semister now. I have a 4.0 GPA. I receive a pell grant and student loans. I was wanting to see what other scholorships or grants that are out there to help pay for my associates in Pharmacy Technician Course. I called the state and they gave me 2 programs that I qualify for "Florida Student Assistant Grant" and Florida Work experience grant".

Both pulled up under Ultimate Medical Academy school as qualified school for these grants. State told me that I had to fill out the FAFSA which I already have and then tell the school to put through for these programs after the FAFSA has been processed. There is no other way to get these programs.

I called UMA school and told them I wanted to try to qualify for these programs and that state said the school has to fill out for the programs from their financial aid office. Here's the kicker! Financial Aid office of Ultimate Medical Academy said " you have the pell grant and student loans which is paying for your tuition.

We don't file anything else on your behave for grants and scholorships. You have to go to the sight for the scholorships and grants and let them file for you". I told her the state of Florida said the school has to do it and her response was we" don't do any other programs but loans and pell grant".

This school is always talking about helping their students ect and so on. It makes no sense to me not to put these things through to help a student finance their education. It does not hurt for financial Aid to help a student get the education without having a high student loan. If Florida saids I am eligible then I should be able to get it. School is holding loans over my head!
